I am a Professional Structural Engineer (P.Eng – Ontario, Canada) with over 9 years of hands-on experience delivering practical, code-compliant structural solutions for industrial, commercial, and building projects. I specialize in structural design and drafting for: • Steel, reinforced concrete, and wood structures (NBCC, CSA S16, CSA A23.3, CSA O86) • Industrial foundations, equipment supports, pipe racks, and tanks • Structural analysis and modeling using ETABS, SAFE, and SAP2000 • Construction-ready CAD packages, shop drawings, and coordination drawings • 3D modeling using AutoCAD, SolidWorks, and Inventor I focus on practical, buildable solutions — not theoretical designs. My experience includes close coordination with fabrication and construction teams, ensuring drawings are clear, accurate, and executable. Clients work with me to reduce rework, avoid constructability issues, and receive clear, execution-ready drawings. Typical deliverables include: • DWG and PDF construction / shop drawings • ETABS, SAFE, or SAP2000 analysis models • Summary calculation and design reports Professional sealing and responsibility for Canadian projects can be discussed separately, in accordance with provincial regulations and insurance requirements.

8+ Years of Experience in Manufacturable Design, 2D Drafting, and 3D Modeling A results-driven Senior Mechanical Design Engineer specializing in the intersection of industrial engineering and architectural millwork. I provide high-precision technical documentation that transforms complex concepts into production-ready "blueprints." With a deep mastery of parametric modeling and reverse engineering, I ensure every design—whether a mechanical component or bespoke cabinetry—is optimized for CNC machining and traditional fabrication. Core Expertise * Millwork & Furniture Engineering: Expert 2D drafting and 3D modeling for cabinetry, high-end fixtures, and architectural woodwork. * Advanced CAD/CAM Design: Developing manufacturing-ready models for CNC machining, 3D printing, and rapid prototyping. * Reverse Engineering: Converting physical products or field measurements into highly accurate CAD models for reproduction or refinement. * Sheet Metal & Weldments: Specialized in flat pattern layouts, assembly design, and structural weldments ready for the shop floor. * Design Automation: Utilizing parametric modeling to create adaptable designs, significantly reducing lead times for repetitive tasks. Technical Proficiencies * Specialized Woodwork Software: Cabinet Vision, Imos iX CAD. * Mechanical Design Suites: SolidWorks (Expert: Assemblies, Simulation/FEA), Autodesk Inventor, Creo Parametric, NX CAD CAM. * Core Drafting: AutoCAD (High-precision 2D/3D). * Analysis & Validation: ANSYS (Structural & Fatigue analysis) to ensure product durability and integrity. Why Partner With Me? * Manufacturability First: My background in mechanical engineering means I don't just draw; I engineer for the shop floor, ensuring tolerances and joinery are flawless. * Versatile Industry Knowledge: From industrial machine design to bespoke furniture, I bring a rigorous technical standard to every project. * Global Project Support: Proven track record in delivering high-quality documentation for international firms, maintaining strict adherence to project timelines and AWI standards.
